Up Country Audiobook

" The best book I have ever 'read'! "

" Loved The General's Daughter but this one dragged for me. "

" Love the adventure thru Vietnam with John Corey. "

" This book helped me understand what many are dealing with as Vietnam Vets. It is a nice work of Fiction. "

" Love to read Nelson Demille and this book was a typical Demille book with a good plot loaded with his witty sarcasm. Though I can usually get through a book fast, this 700 page book took me two weeks to read. Loved the storyline but to me it was not an easy read. "

" Another very good product from DeMille. Probably one of my favorites, because it did not involve John Corey. A good international thriller, with thoughtful overtones about coming to grips with war and the past generally. "

" Another great DeMille book! "

" typically, perfectly DeMille! "

" DeMille at his best "

" Pretty good mystery/spy novel, with a lot of history/personal experience thrown in. Good read. "

" This book is a committment, but well worth it. Demille can be hilarious in his dry witted way, and I laughed out loud several times reading this one. My husband loved it too. "

" Vietnam veterans go back to see the battle fields and the rice paddys where they fought. DeMille allows everyone to take that journey. "

" Excellent DeMille book. Gave to my niece to read before she went to Vietnam for a year. She loved it as well!! "

" Beach read...barely a step up from watching TV. "

" Hardly any plot. Basically a travelogue of Vietnam. While that part was interesting the story was not. "

" I liked this book and learned much about Vietnam, then and now. However, the story moved really slowly and I ended up skipping to the end! "

" A Viet Nam vet returns to Vietnam on "business". Good read. "

" One of his 3 best books in my opinion "

" I want to go to VietNam after reading this! "

" My dear sweet friend and I joined a local book club and this was the selection. otherwise I would have never come across such a book! I liked the history of the Vietnam war, like an insiders view, but um not much else. Needless to say after 3 books like this we called it quits. "

" It was a well written book. DeMille is one of my favorite authors, but this was not my favorite or an enjoyable book for me. It was hard tracking all the Vietnam names and places - but that's probably my laziness. I gave it to my Vietnam Vet Cousin to read and will be curious to hear what he says. "

" Not my favorite DeMille book. Too slow at times and didn't care for the ending. "

" great book-can't wait to read more of his! "

" Could not set it down loved it ! "

" Im still going up country with the characters and their motorcycle. Great trip, not much of an ending. But still Demille at his best. "

" Paul Brenner, former Army homicide investigator, goes to Vietnam to find a witness to a 30 year old murder of Army officer. Book tends to drag from time to time. Surprise ending as to the identity of murderer. "

" As a Vietnam vet, I found this exceptional. Demille served as an officer in Vietnam. The book will give an illuminating perspective to those who did not experience this war firsthand. "

" Loved this book. Vietnam based........another one of those topics I'm stangely drawn to. When I would put this book down and go to sleep, I would then dream about it. "

" the best book ever, read it a couple of years ago and i still remember the pleasures "

" I'm moving to Vietnam, buying a bus and starting the Nelson DeMille Up Country Tour! $5 me love you long time! "

" Reads like a non-fiction travelougue of an aging soldier's return to Vietnam some 30 years later.This thinly veiled semi-autobiography is filled with vivid memories, history, and sympathy for veterans of both sides. "

" Good travel notes, but action drags. "

" facinating story - recommend for both sexes "

" Loved, Loved, Loved. Action packed placed in current times with great reminiscant descriptions of what it was like during the Vietnam war without being too too overall gloomy. Great book for a little history lesson review from the prespective of someone that was there. "

" no where near as good as DeMille's other books but still an enjoyable read "

" I like the tone but way too long. Needed to be cut by at least a third. "

" Excellent book with some real background to the War sprinkled in as well. Mental note to myself to read up on some more History. While a great read, there were no real plot twists or surprises to speak of. The ending was a little anticlimactic. "

" well the blurb said it was going to be a thriller/murder investigation; but it was part romance, mostly travelogue through Vietnam with a little bit of the thriller part at the beginning and the end. The only thing that kept me reading was the dialogue! Brilliant! "

" I like Nelson DeMille's style of writing, and I liked learning more about Viet Nam, but it did seem to drag on a little. The main character is the same as in General's Daughter - a very likable guy. "
